Benefits of getting a credit card with St.George Bank
Some of the key features you can get with a St.George credit card include:
Contactless payments
St.George credit cards are enabled with Visa payWave, meaning you can use your card to "tap and go" to make contactless payments at participating merchants. You can also make payments from your mobile phone or another compatible device with the following mobile wallets:
Apple Pay
Google Pay
Samsung Pay
My Offers Hub
A personal St.George card gives you access to discounts and offers with brands such as Myer, Priceline and THE ICONIC. To see the latest deals through the My Offers Hub, you just have to log in to your account and go to the "My offers and benefits" section on mobile or Internet banking.
Instalment plans
St.George offers 0% interest instalment plans for new purchases, giving you a structured way to pay them off over 3, 6 or 12 months. Known as Plan&Pay, you can set up an instalment plan for any credit card purchase over $200 that you've made in the previous 30 days, and can cancel it at any time. While there's no interest for these instalment plans, you'll pay an upfront fee of 1% for a 3-month plan, 2% for 6-month plans and 4% for 12-month plans.
Security
St.George credit cards come with 24/7 fraud monitoring and support services to help keep your account safe. If you suspect any suspicious transactions or need to report a lost, stolen or damaged card, you can contact the St.George 24/7 customer service centre in Australia on 1800 028 208 or overseas on +61 2 9155 7800. The St.George Fraud Money Back Guarantee also means you won't have to cover the cost of fraudulent transactions if they're made on your credit card.

For lost, stolen or misplaced cards, you can call 1800 028 028 from Australia, or +612 9155 7800 from overseas. Alternatively, you could contact St.George via online chat through the St.George website, or manage your account through Internet and Mobile Banking.
If you have an existing debt on a credit card from another bank, you can request a balance transfer when you apply for a new St.George credit card. If the card and the balance transfer are approved, St.George will arrange to transfer the balance from your old account to the new card once you have activated it. Note that you cannot transfer debts from existing St.George, Bank of Melbourne or BankSA cards.
Allow up to 4 weeks for St.George to complete a balance transfer request. If you are a new customer, the balance transfer request will only be processed after you complete an identification check at a St.George branch and activate your card.
You can transfer a minimum of $200 and up to 80% of your approved credit limit to a new St.George credit card.
Yes, if you have debt on an existing card from another bank, you can request a balance transfer onto your current St.George credit card. Note that any balance transfer request you make will be subject to St.George's lending criteria and approval. As with introductory balance transfers, you also won't be able to move debt if it's on an existing St.George, Bank of Melbourne or BankSA card.
Yes, you can switch between the Amplify Rewards and the Amplify Qantas rewards programs at any time. Just get in touch with St.George Bank and ask for a Program Switch Request form.
If you have a St.George credit card that earns rewards, you'll earn points for most everyday purchases. This includes shopping at the supermarket, retail stores, petrol stations and at restaurants or online stores. But transactions that are not eligible to earn points include balance transfers, BPAY transactions and cash advances (including getting cash out). Refer to the Amplify and Amplify Qantas rewards card terms and conditions booklet available on the St.George website for full details of what transactions will and won't earn points.
You must repay at least 2% of your total balance or $10 (whichever is greater) by the due date on each statement period.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.

Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve.
